The Carbon2Chem project aims at converting process gases from the steel production – including the CO and CO2 they contain – into base chemicals such as ammonia (as a starting product for fertilizers) or methanol. Start up of demonstration plant in Duisburg mid 2018 and general proof of concept by 2020.
